Katadyn Hiker/Hiker PRO/Base Camp Replacement Element

REVIEW/REPLACEMENT WALKTHROUGH: A simple, easy to replace cartridge. With replacement, this will upgrade your Hiker model to the Hiker Pro!

This model of element… Full review

I suppose without this inline, I would just be clogging my main… Full review
